The mission of the Pico Rivera Centre for the Arts is to provide an opportunity for community members to explore the fine arts through instructional classes, workshops, lectures and gallery exhibitions. We seek to provide an environment, which encourages individuals of all ages and skill levels to nurture and enhance their artistic abilities in a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere.
